You know what I love about Frank Black? There is no attempt too strut around on stage and act 'cool' - he just stands there with his guitar and belts out great song after great song. He can let the music speak for him.
He doesn't have to act cool, he just is.
Yeah and his very unassuming, average guy appearance just made him even more rock and roll.
Good musicians
100 % you ‘ re right!
That's bcuz he's not, " A Rock-Star ! "
Seeing 'Tool' is the same. Too Professional to dance around the Stage, like their Janet Jackson, or something. It's so impressive seeing those guys just standing there while this dark sounding music is inundating everybody.
If Gouge Away doesn’t still give you chills after all these years you are dead inside.
I have only listen to the intro, and today I just listen to the full song. Now I’m here, goosebumps.
@@cherrykoolaiddisasters You are doing it right!
i guess ya need ta be a pothead ta feel it
if the tame encore doesnt give you chills you're dead inside*
@@S.G.W.C. I will allow it.
I was there. I was 16. It was total chaos. It was amazing 🤘
I'm jealousy.
Saw them supporting Jane's Addiction and being supported by Primus a few months before in Brixton. Quite a night. :D
Me too, but I was 26 and Australian in London, on mushrooms and moshing out like my life was gonna end (it might have…)
So jealous, I'm gonna get to see them next year, but it's not the same without Kim and The Breeders are not touring anymore I think, it's sad, Kim just have something that appeals me to see her live so much.
Me too. We bought tickets the day before, skived off work and travelled down to London on Weds afternoon. I'd been to London a few times before, but never to a gig. I will never forget the atmosphere. Got back home at 3am, didn't and couldn't sleep. Ticket is safe, still inside my Doolittle CD case.
the pixies in their prime
sparrowhead hawkins without a doubt
@curragh 42 They were still brilliant at the academy 2 years ago and hopefully will be next July supporting Pearl Jam in Hyde Park.
@curragh 42 that's their fledgling years, Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde were unbelievable albums and a clear sign of a progressing band, plus all the years of touring the older material how can you say this isn't them at their peak?
@curragh 42 not live. They had a way thinner sound. Saw them on Doolittle and TDL tours. This performance is just more precise. Louder. Never seen Black Francis this committed to a vocal performance. The TDL tour was spectacular.
@curragh 42 I agree with Patrick, I don't think the turmoil is that important when talking about a band at their peak live, this is after all of those crazy long tours, they've adapted and perfected the older tunes, they've all become tighter and better musicians over that period of time, sure the earlier stuff had catchier songs on but would you say Nevermind was Nirvana's musical peak? No chance for me, and tbh I always find myself going back to Bossanova and Trompe more than the earlier material, I think they're better albums personally!
The way Frank screams/growls the word "debaser" while Kim sings the same word like an angel, Joey's instrument whales/moans like a tortured woman, and David pounds away, pulsating, like blood pumping through it all ... THAT captures the Pixies for me. God, man, woman, and the devil, in every one of their songs, and their songs will live forever. Greatest band ever.
Nailed it. The way he screams the whole building down in River Euphrates too, "ONE SIP FROM THE SALTY WIIIINE"! It comes out of nowhere but fits perfectly and captures them as you said.
Dude… get a fucking life asshole
fuck yeah
I bought Doolittle right after I graduated high school and I had just started a new job. I got off work at 11p, went to Tower Records (open til midnight 😎), got home and popped it in my cassette boombox. I remember thinking that I had a lot of living to experience, and this was going to make a great soundtrack for it. 35 years later, so far, so good.
@@angelotro so true
Sigh, I'm still in love with Kim Deal till this day.
Ideal Gal. Plays Bas and v cute lol
Same
I sent her a paper-mail love letter when I was 15. That's was 1990.
are u lesbian and a moan?fuck her
Dammit! We all love Kim!
The greatest incentive to build a time machine...
Not yet. They're not ready for us
Well I'm traveling 7 years to the past to say epic comment
Pixies concerts from this era of their work deserved Stop Making Sense-esque treatment
As the years go by I appreciate Dave Lovering more and more... He deserves way more credit. Love his drumming and everything!
David is such a drumming machine here, unbelievably tight
He's technically the most proficient musician of the Pixies. The other including Frank Black are on the sloppy and quirky side but they're allowed to be because Lovering keeps the rythmic base tight otherwise it would be a total sonic mess.
@@deadstar44 exactly! and the sloppiness Black Francis defines the sound
Dave smoking a doob during "where is my mind", we love to see it!
He's a fine drummer. Tight.
Frank's screams are legendary!
It is blowing my mind every time when I hear that sounds of his voice) amazing
"ONE SIP FROM THE SALTY WIIIIIIINE!"
Best two vocalists in alternative rock....Period! Kim sings like an angel and Charles is just so talented!
Definitely underrated
Not an angel, a pixie!
Kims vocals added so much to the songs. Charles and Kim together are magic.
Pity they treated her like shit
Whines like a wanker, you lot know jack shite about music
If I could go back in time and be in the front row of any concert, this is it. The absolute peak of Pixies performances....
It’s between this and Primus at Woodstock in 1994 for me
one of the only bands that will ever matter....so fucking original!
they are kicking as this summer - saw them 5 days ago in Belgium - the public got wild at one point - it was Incredible !!!! the Bass player is just who they needed - she plays fabulously well and loves being there .
What a band, what an era for music. Thank god for TH-cam so we can watch this over and and over again.
This performance of Tame never fails to give me chills
The faces in the crowd are art, just pure energy.
that's the first time I've seen Frank without a guitar
Agree, is one of best songs played live in my opinion, this live versión is better than the Lp recorded versión for me.
i cried
Absolutely spec-fucking-tacular. Euphoric. Glorious.
The Brixton Academy has so many legendary gigs over its history. It's not the biggest venue but it's gotta be one of the best. In my experience anyway. Same for the Town n Country Club. I've seen 'big' bands play huge venues like Wembley or the 02 and it's just nowhere near the same.
I'm still watching it now and it never EVER gets old
You're a gem for not putting ads in this. 80 minutes of pure gold ;)
The Pixies: 4 people who had no business being in a band together and yet they became one of the most influential acts in America.
You said it perfectly
@@mark83175 one mistake, he said America and not the world.
@@lettucekisses Influenced many young people back then here in the States, myself being one of them. But yeah they were responsible for a lot of bands forming in England lol.
@@tripperdelaluna1 everywhere
@@lettucekisses english speaking world*, I doubt Pixies were that influential in hispanic, african or asian countries lol
Their originality is still very underrated, such an important part of the scene back then, brilliant ideas and energy
I love how they bust right on through, no fucking intros and wasted time. They're all playing/singing/screaming their asses off, especially Frank.
Wow, that's one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen.
This must be the most wild and brutal Pixies concert ever recorded
Just one of the greatest bands of all time
How do you sing like that for hours and still have a voice to call your own afterwards?
Vocal training and strong lungs and vocal chords
whiskey, strawberry milkshake, and a pack of Marlboro filters a day.
Didn't Franck Black have to get nodules removed from his vocal cords ?
Veni Vidi Vici Never seen a photo or video of him smoking ciggies tho. But from some interviews he definitely looked stoned to me, not to mention that it shows on his records.
I was thinking of nodules (may not be the right word)caused by screaming, leading to damage and scar tissue forming on the vocal cords. I think Chino Moreno and Frank Black had to undergo surgery because of it
what can be said of this performance that hasn’t been said before
black francis, one of the great songwriters of all time, looks like he works in the nuts and bolts section of a hardware store, joey looks like a salsa dance teacher, kim is every alternative guy’s dream woman, dave is tight as a drum
legendary screams, kim’s bouncy bass lines, joey’s guitar squeals, joey’s brother on 3rd guitar for no good reason
the best setlist ever
the best outro to a concert ever
legendary
This is the best thing on youtube.
I concur
Yeah truly I played this video hundred of times
best screamer ive ever heard. and i listen to a lot of metal.
Yes, there's just something in that scream
@@andrejsgulins3023 it sounds so raw!
Maybe tied with Zack de la Rocha, but yeah
David Lovering slams the drums for all he's worth while Joey Santiago churns out the best riffs and the lovely Kim Deal reels out some great bass while singing her heart out. Meanwhile Charles Thompson IV sings and screams and shouts his way through some of the best songs ever written. I saw this tour in 1991 and was blown away. Velouria! Gouge Away!
And what can you say about the 5th Pixie?
@@BMXOPHY The only cool thing I could say about Bob Santiago is that he's related to one of the greatest guitarists of all time lol
So beautiful…..so young and original without pretense or gimmick they are truly one of the greatest and most unique rock bands . Original and unparalleled. They can go for thrashing punk reverb to melodic and hypnotizing in a single song.
Very well put considering that it is very difficult to categorise them. One of those rare bands that you really have to "get", let it "click" in your head and then you've discovered one of the best, most original bands in the history of music. There is nothing else like them, no matter how much people tried to copy them.
I have seen a million bands in a trillion smokey bars, in a zillion alley ways,and on several different galaxies, and none can touch these guys... Play it again, and again, and again...
The Bossa Nova Tour, no less.
Love this performance. Band in their absolute prime, sound wise. No theatrics on stage. Just amazing musicianship. Kim is stunning too.
Epic ...Kim Deal has to have the strongest calves ...she stood on het tippy toes the whole Trompe le monde tour. Thanks for posting!!!
Break my Body is the most beautifully wicked, haunting , and violent song of them all, yet gets no respect as one of their greatest songs written.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that song too. So original and yet catchy at the same time. It's creepy and cute....
Take as a privilege that you liked it Bro !
i'm with you
it's so tragic and killing
i slap it on the ass evcerytime I listen to. Thats a compliment...
holy shit...Tame
Thought my pc was gonna break
Best closer, ever.
@@NuclearVagabond They finished with this at Leeds last year. Unbeatable.
holy shit... every song !! :)
Absolutely bonkers version!!! Without doubt, one of the wildest encores of all time. The delicious irony of the title never thicker!
The happening is so underrated what a tune
i know right? its so damn good
Definitely. One of my favorite song!
Incredible here.
This is a gem. The ability of to go from one song to the next is awesome without pause. Superb! Just shows how well rehearsed and devoted they were to the music and performance. I wish could have been at there concerts but.....i regress....Still lovely. All hail pixies!
you digress.
Unbelievable this is out there. Still the best concert I've ever seen live. 2 buds from school traveled over to school at Exeter for the summer and got back to London to see this show. Posed as reporters from Spin magazine, got in free. Backstage (or balcony room?) Been 25 plus years. Remember Modern English was there. Maybe Blur? Powerful band, great show.
My God they were sooo amazing live! Their sound and energy influenced many artists after them. But, what's more exciting than that is not seeing a single f'ing cell phone in sight!!! Praise the 80's and 90's live performances for just rocking out!
Joyous 1991, before smartphones and guitar tuner pedals were invented ;-)
Phone bad rock good
@@mercurial71 people still had digital tuners though
Amen!
This is a legendary concert
Could you imagine having the Pixies be your opening band? You watch them from the wings as they finish Tame and when it ends the stage manager taps you on the shoulder and says "OK. You're up." Nightmare fuel.
😂
One of the best setlists ever
I agree
I'm so glad my parents showed me the pixies as a kid. Driving from OC to Laguna Beach on weekends with this on full blast, those were the times.
listening to this recording for 25+ years and still getting chills
This is holy music.
I like how Kim stands on her toes to reach the mic.
I like how Kim (fill in with anything)
No outrageous looks, no stupid make-up, no ridiculous poses with spread legs and pointed fingers...just some fucking great rock'n'roll songs !
Clone Abarbe that floral shirt is pretty outrageous
This just had me crying tears of joy and remembered teenage years
This video ALONE.. Should be case enough for them to be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Fuck the rock and roll hall of fame
Do you really want them in the same group with Kansas, journey, bon jovi,...
@@arrysarantidis1854 Kansas was pretty good.
Only ppl in the USA give a flying f about that dumb little club. Here in the UK it means zero. Is it like a special corridor full of busts? We tend to just sign these bands, make them huge, like Hendrix and Nirvana then we tell you who you're own decent bands are, and of course all the best pixies and nirvana gigs they saved for England on account of how we embraced them while the USA was grooving to zz top and motley cru (i bet they're in the horridor of power though, no doubt). If I was in a band I'd be pretty ashamed of belonging to such a 'club'. I think you all saw what 'winning' a Grammy means to an artist from the UK (and Ed Sheerhan doesn't count cause I said artist, and I hope I've spelled his name wrong as well, or Harry homoerotic styles) when Aphex Twin showed his awe by not bothering to even send a cringe acceptance video. He just stayed at home and chilled and probably didn't even know or care if it was even on. Trust me, this 'Rock n Roll Hall of Fame' (hhhhh) means absolutely nothing outside of America. Nobody with any integrity gives it one second of space in their brain.
Do they get inducted or initiated?
Great to hear so many Bossanova songs. My personal fav Pixies album, though they are all great.
I dont think Kim could get anymore beautiful to me. Shes my ultimate crush. So beautiful. A natural beauty.
Totally agree with you because I believe you, I thought the same for me before reading you. It's a autentic beauty, and that is the true concept of the beauty, see a person doing for that she was making, it's the best. Sorry for my bad English, greetings from Mexico.
I hear you my 1991 self in junior high is crushing on her in this one!
She is a striking beauty. I saw the Pixies live (my first time) a few months prior to this show. I was in high school back then and I spent most of the show focused on her. By the time they played 'Gigantic,' the entire room was looking at her . . .
Im glad I'm not the only one who agrees.
Get back masher! She's mine forever!!!
Probably the most underrated rock band of all the time!
if you like Pixies you should check out Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, it gives me Pixies vibes and it's a great new song
Underrated??? In what kind of world do you live? I think they got all the fame and recognition they deserve. Or do you mean they should be played at morning shows on silly major radio stations or in elevators or in supermarkets or should they make christmas singles with Beyonce? I like them as they are!!
I agree! or Can (Damo Suzuki era)
WOW! This live gig video really blew me away! The energy, the passion, the near perfect chords (like the recordings) is very impressive. Wish I was there....
Me too man
Not one damn comment about how awesome Joey's shirt is?
Until now.
the only thing I am more jealous of than francis' guitars are Santiagos shirts
Well, now that you mention it, I do prefer it more than Frank's.
very awesome
I reminds me of the cover art one Fully Completely by The Tragically Hip the other greatest of all time
This entire set is just f***ing incredible!
My cousin, God bless him, played me Frank's first solo album in 1995 and it blew my mind. It's taken me 25 years to hear everything he's done. I may be crazy but to me he's up there with Dylan, Keith Jarrett, Bowie, and only a few others. Feel really blessed every time I hear The Pixies, his solo stuff, and The Catholics.
There is something in the Frank Charles Michael Black Kittridge Francis Thompson IV discography to speak to every mood.
You’re not crazy
Bowie complimented pixies!
Ha 😂. I remember the first time I heard the B-52's. Audience participation took on another definition. Been dancing ever since.
Every time I watch this show, I fell in love with kim deal.
26:57 fucking amazing!
Right on. That's the highlight of the show for sure
The Pixies are a Band that hit a certain part in the Mind, that causes involuntary reactions. It's really unexplainable. The chills, The Zone etc... & I think it's the same for Everyone who; 'gets it.'
if you like Pixies you should check out Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, it gives me Pixies vibes and it's a great new song
I get it….
Very well said. I remember "getting" the Pixies and was hooked for life. You really do have to "get" them and I feel sorry for people who haven't. I still rediscover old songs that I'd kinda forgotten about to this day and they never get old. Never got bored of them and I've been a fan since I first heard them at 15 years old, 15 years ago.
Seen them a few days before this performance in Manchester.This reminds me how Great they were and what a Unique band they were.
Quite possibly the most influential band of all time in many sublime ways!!!
This is amazing, proper buffed up artifact.
Love the curious glances as Frank keeps his mouth tight shut on Bone Machine.
SOOOOMEone forgot their lyrics
So much for Carol.
That always makes me laugh. He is just staring into space like he is thinking about his groceries or something
That setlist is OP.
Juggernaut
it lacks the mighty Hey and that gorgeous No 13 Baby

I was born in 2006 but my dad introduced me to this band and I LOVE THEM!
im also pretty young (im 16), i can say for certain that i was born in the RIGHT generation. we get to hear all the Pixies' music at the push of a button! we were born at the right time to hear these absolutely incredible bands.
I was born in 1984 and my dad introduced me to this band too
parenting 101
me too, and I love them too
I was horn in 1970...which meant I was able to watch this gig. Which I did. The atmosphere inside and outside the Academy was the most electric thing I've ever experienced. I have tried to educate my kids. 1 out of the 3 loves The Pixies. She didn't believe I was actually there, but I still have my ticket tucked inside the CD case of Doolittle. 😀
29 amazing songs in 81 minutes!
What a brilliant show! I wish they still played The Happening, there's plenty of songs in their catalog that are fantastic and could use some love!
The idea of being lucky enough to see this band at that time blows my mind. I saw them last year, and the music still holds up (obviously), but I can't imagine it would compare to witnessing this show in the flesh.
Saw them just 4 days ago in a Belgian festival - Damn , they are still playing so well . They mostly played the 3 first albums and Frank was in his groove - aligning 22 songs without a word to the public - Full on business ! The public was set on fire and pushing / dancing like in the 90's . It was awesome . Didn't get to see them since their last 93 tour .
Where did you see them in Belgium? They are coming this year back
@@matthijsvanhulle3369 well , it was at the Werchter Festival ( 89 and 90 ) and also in Deinze around 93 i think + in 2017 somewhere in a festival close to Antwerpen . They are indeed coming back this year with the new album . I also saw Frank around 95 at the Pukkelpop festival and in Brussels for his solo tours ( Frank Black and the Catholics ) .
22:47 Kim Deal up on her toes playing bass
jonanjello
Yes ~
out of the loop, is this a reference to something?
Pixies are one of the most underrated bands, they've had their sound from way before other bands like Nirvana
I think they've never been underrated
Not underrated, just underpopular
You're right The Pixies a greater band than generally given credit but Cobain cited The Pixies as one of his fav bands from one came many other bands remember you're really just hearing Black Francis on albums he is known for this he writes they play 😎👍🏻
*River Euphrates will be a blast*
*F O R E V E R*

@@elijahfinch3349
okay, that sounds cool enough, but I prefer drinking from the main source
what a setlist! Lucky fans, this must have been one of the best shows of their lives
Frank Black is fucking otherworldly in this.

The opening sends shivers down my spine! Incredible!
I was so lucky to attend their gig at Camden Town on 20 March 2023. Considering I had Surfer Rosa CD in my Walkman in 2000. Amazing lifetime journey with Pixies
This captured them at their peak and it is a perfection encapsulation of their weird ass sound that I wholly love.
I'm always amazed and curious how Frank can maintain so much composure.
They were so good at their peak. They were just so so good and exciting.
Every moment of every day, I'll bosssva wit cha, Charles
I love Pixies.
You have just made my day/month/year!!! This Gig right here is the BesT!
This show was aired in Japan 1991 as their first "LIVE" show, it was very shocking and here I feel same, great band!!
Now I understand why Kim says thanks in Japanese at the end of some songs.
I would've turned 2 at this show. Can you imagine that? Crowd-surfing baby being flung around and shit. It would have been awesome.
"flung around" 😂
De los mejores conciertos de rock en la Historia, desde la intensidad, la voz de Black al Setlist perfecto. Muchas gracias.
Kim Deal’s smile is my favorite thing on earth
They were so far ahead of their time, it still feels like modern rock!!!
Way better than stupid modern rock
Letter to memphis is such a beautifully put together song. The guitar duos in it are amazing. This band really changed things around in the music scene of the late 80's
Great concert ❤️ I was 16 in 1991, had all of their records and a tshirt with the bull terriër on it from Here Comes your man. What a great time for music it was back then. Thank you for this upload, really enjoyed this.

Incredible... This has got to be one of their best recorded performances
my fav certainly
And full sound with 3 guitars.
41:54
The greatest performance of my favorite song ever. They played it slower, which is already rare, but they perfectly nailed the atmosphere too. Frank sounded so exhausted and heartfelt here
Also that performance of Tame is absolutely insane holy shit
They're absolutely puddled. So original. Literally could be from another planet. Beautiful
Man , What i would do to go back in time to see this show ! Frikkin uberdelicious trippy sounds of my youth.
Well isn’t this the coolest thing ever. What a performance. Ballsy to open with the screamiest song of the bunch. Edit: dear holy god Tame was amazing.
I still want Kim Deal in 2019. Pixies tattoo since 89.
Que desgracia para mi, venir a conocerlos recien el 2000.......!!!!! en 1991 yo tenia 18 años pero andaba sumergido el en rock de los 70s!!!
Thanks for the upload! These versions of Rock Music and The Sad Punk are for sure the best.
This was a perfect concert
Awesome Pixies performance one of the best
Kim's mic stand is too tall so she was standing on her toes to sing Bone Machine. How _fucking adorable_ is that?!
Wow-Spectacular. Listening to 'Motorway to Roswell' -fantabulous
